I've been experimenting with gold paint just yesterday. I had a green hand dyed scarf that has been calling out for something unusual for months and I recently rediscovered my metallic gold fabric paint so seeing as I've been inspired by Japanese aesthetic I thought a little experimentation was in order.
As well as the Wabi-Sabi inspiration I have found some amazing examples of Kintsukuroi just lately, another Japanese art this one means repairing with gold.
My colour palette is worn oak green and gold and its hand worked texture and design seems a perfect match between the two

I love the 'repairing with gold' idea. Instead of fighting the repair, make it beautiful in a new way.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I'm not artsy in the least, but I enjoy beauty created by others.

This is very very beautiful I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love how you find a way to make it beautiful anyway
These look really beautiful! the gold makes a big difference!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work! I enjoyed visiting your blog today. #BB100
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful! It reminded me a bit of Makoto Fujimura; I have heard him speak and he talked about learning to paint with all kinds of brushes, papers and pigments, including gold. I love that raku vase in your picture, too. I have a couple of raku pieces, done in green, and they're favorites. #BB100
ReplyDeleteSo you added the gold to the scarf? Looks great! #BB100
